To all whom it may concern.'

' Be it known that I, JoUzAs KARAsEvroz, a citizen of Russia, residing at 238 'Peltusl St., South Amboy, county of Middlesex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash- Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object the provision of means whereby an ordinary window sash may be raised without difficulty, and lowered by the simple movement of the engaging parts and retained in adjustment.

A further obj ect is to provide such devices in forms which may be readily engaged with any ordinary type of window construction, the arrangement being such as to cushion the descent of a window, lso as to avoid danger to -the transparent pane therein, no abrupt shock or jar being encountered.

Theserand other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a ma terial part of this disclosure, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational view showing a sash lock made in accordance with the invention and indicating its application.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevational view thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

YReferring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 10 indicates the lower corner of a conventional type of window sash, freelyy slidable within the window frame, in which is Set an elongated rack bar 1l, held by suite able securing means passing through its ends Y 12, and provided upon its inner face with a plurality of spaced angular teeth 14, each succeeding tooth being joined to the next by curved upper elements 15.

The casing fra-me is composed of a verti-A cal Strip 16 joined by end walls 17 and having' an outer or face plate 18 set in the outer side of the sash 10, the face plate 18 having rounded ends 19, containing openings 20 adapted to receive screws or likesecuring means whereby the frame is rigidly engaged with the window sash.

An inwardly protruding bar-like element 21 is formed with the face plate V18, theV same having a recessed lower end 22, immediately above an aperture 23 in the face plate and formed with the bar element 2l upon each side thereof, is a hook 24 adapted to guide the upper end 25 of a lever detent, the same having a laterally turned extend# ing toe 26 adapted to pass through the aper-V ture 27, and engage with the curved seats 16 of the rack bar 11.

Formed in the bottom 27 of the detent is an oppositely disposed angular element 28 in which is set a pin 29 acting as a guide for the coiled spring 30, guided at its upper end by another pin 31 set in the up er casing 17, thus the detent is invariab y pressedV downward but is free to rise limitedly when the detent toe 26 comes into contact with a fixed Surface as the projections 15 of the rack bar 11. The detent 26 is normally pressed out, due to the effect of a coiled compression Spring 32 surrounding an extension 23, formed in the detent body 27 near the opposite point 26, this extension terminating in a pin 33, normally projecting through a slot 341, formed in the back plate 16 of the casing.

Also set in the detent body 27, is a laterally extending pin 34 passing through a recess formed in the window sash and termi- ,Y

nating in a head 35, by means of which the detent 35 can be withdrawn from the teeth l5 of the rack, permitting the window sash to be lowered, and it will be obvious that the sash can be raised in the ordinary manner by merely pressing the sash upwardly, the

detent engaging with the tooth so as to hold the window sash in an adjusted position.'

From the foregoing it will be seen that an elficient locking device has been presented whereby window sashes may be held in ad-v justment and that the same can be operated in an easy manner. `I-Iaving thus described my invention what kI claim as new and desire to secure by Letwardly, and another spring adapted yto press said detentoutwardly so as to engage with the teeth of said rac Y 2. In a sashy holder, the combination with a rectangular casing having open sides disposed in the sash of a window and a rach having angular teeth adjacent thereto7 said rack being set in the casing of said window, of a detent sldably engaged in said casing, said detent having outer extending portions engageable with the teeth of Said rack, means for manually actuating said detent, an arm formed with the detent extending rearwardly in the casing, a compression spring arranged between said arm and the upper edge in said casing, a pin projecting oppositely from said detent through said casing, and a spring encircling said pin whereby said detent is held normally engaged with the teeth of said rack.

In testimony whereof I have aiXed my signature.
